Hello, everyone more so hi to the ladies. My name is antabi. Welcome to my channel i'll, be using my eco styler gel and my molding gel wax. I start off by spritzing my hair with water. I always work on damp hair. It just makes the process easier and you end up using less products. After that, i combed through my hair, and then i sectioned my hair into two parts, i'm creating a mid high ponytail if you are still learning how to do your hair or you have really thick hair. I suggest that you work in sections. It just makes the process easier, so i went in with my gel twice just use enough, don't go in with too much after that. I did the same in the front and then i joined the two parts together. I sectioned out here for my edges. If you don't want to lay your edges, you don't have to do this. This is to prevent breakage. I then brushed through with my nail brush just to make sure that the product is evenly spread throughout the hair. I then go in with my molding gel wax. If you don't want to use the specific product you can use any edge control, you can use shine and jam. You can use beeswax, you can use anything that gives a good hold or you can use gel alone. It'S up to you. I smear it on first and then i smooth it in more wax. I smooth it in and then i use my nail brush to evenly spread the products throughout my hair. I re-tie my hair twice until i'm happy with how it looks molex make sure you smooth it in and then you brush through and then i retie for the last time going in with wax. If you feel like you need gel, you can add that if you feel like you need edge control whatever product you're using just add that don't go overboard, balance the products out. I used two ribbons for my edges. I went in with some water and then i balanced out the wax and the eco styler gel. You can use your yellow gut to be glue here. I didn't use it if the hair feels oily add minimal water. The oil is caused by the wax the main ingredient in the wax is tea tree oil. The last product i always use when everything is done right before wearing my book is always the gel. So i went in with this black gut to be gel after i used my eco styler gel. I regret using this gel because i had flakes. I always wear a silk like duck at the base and a cotton one on top of that one and then another cotton one. I wear three dogs when i go to sleep and i let my hair dry overnight. The hair i'm using is by magic and it retailed for a hundred grand at a local beauty supply store. You can get this at cosmetic connection. You can use oil sheen to counteract white residue and for shine. This is an old stocking cap, i'm using it as a barrier against the glue. These rubber bands are from take a lot they retailed for 15 rand. I used them to secure the cap once dried. The holding spray prevents the glue from seeping through onto my hair. So there was no glue on my hair. My holding spray bottle broke, so i transferred everything into this bottle. You can use a holding spray of your choice. I use warm aid to get the glue tacky so that when i attach the tracks they stick on, i doubled my tracks when placing the tracks you start from the top to the base. If you wrap everything around the vase, it will be too bulky. The attaching process is self-explanatory. All you do is go around until you get to the base, unlike the white residue that is sometimes caused by the gel wax. This time around. I had actual flakes and i still don't know how to work around not having flakes when using this black gel, but other than that it gave a really good hold. So i still prefer the yellow got to be glue over the black got to be glue, gel the yellow one is glue and the black one is gel. After that i take a piece out and wrap it around so that it conceals the base. I did this again with more hair. The glue had this very secure and there was none on my hair. Just be careful, it gets a bit messy. These bundles are wavy, they don't lay straight, it doesn't say anything on the pack, but the formation, the body is just not straight it's wave like so because of that it was really hard to cut it. That did not work out, so i redid the ponytail and it was thicker the second time around, because i think i used a longer width. I left these clips just to show you that it's actually really nice, as is without cutting it, and i asked for assistance with cutting, because i didn't want to mess it up again. It still wasn't that straight, but it was better than what i did so. This is the final look. I hope this will be helpful. Thank you so much for watching. Please don't forget to like comment and subscribe and i'll see you on my next one. If you have any questions, leave that in the comment section bye,

The flakes could be caused by the product mixture maybe there are certain ingredients that shouldn’t be mixed check the gel with the moulding gel then with the eco styler then all 3, it will give you an indication hope this helps
patience simatele: You did an amazing job.. used this hair before and it's one of the best synthetic afro like hair I've come across so far.. its actually blowable on medium heat if you want to straighten it out .. you can wash it and swim with it without tangles and its completely reusable cause it looks more natural as it ages ..

Yoli Peba: Hi Nthabiseng, absolutely loved this video , another tutorial i will be applying how everything how often do you do protective hairstyle to take a “break “ from styling gel? Iam asking this cos i realized that my hair started breaking and feeling dry (well this is mainly cos iam also lazy) but I keep the styling gel for 2 - 3 weeks max then do another style. And if its not too much to ask can you kindly share your wash day routine.
